When I was in my twenties I also hit the road. At a gas station somewhere in Wyoming I ran out of money. After filling up the tank of my old van I had just a few bucks left. I thought about what I should do... It was a hot day so I bought root beer and vanilla ice cream to make a float. Sensible - no. Exhilarating - absolutely! The freedom I felt when I spent that last dollar was worth a handful of diamonds to me. I finally got what it meant to be on the road. If you're looking to be "safe" it's true that Puna is not safe- and neither is anywhere else worth going. So go while you're young.
